To be determined
After RCW 19.122.055(2) was revised to create a dedicated damage prevention account for penalties, WAC 480-93-240 (3)(a) should have been revised to remove the requirement that penalties should be deducted from pipeline operator fees. In addition, RCW 19.122.050 is incorrectly cited and should be RCW 19.122.055.
